Real Fantasy
The six women who played the Angels were all part of the fantasy, which was designed and promoted to appeal to men and women, of all ages. They appeared on magazine covers, posters, lunchboxes, and other merchandise. While some critics have complained about the objectification of these potentially powerful female characters, there’s also something to be said for the fact that this was a series that came out of the 1970s.
Beyond the fantasy, though, there was something that really drew the viewer in and offered a level of fascination and entertainment that has continued well beyond the end of the series. Yep, it’s become a cult classic, one that nobody has been able to successfully reproduce, no matter how hard they’ve tried.
